Jessica Jami From: Jessica Jarvi Sam: Tuesday, February 7, 2023 5:13 PM To: LGCONSTRUCT1@GMAILCOM Cc: Planning Email Subject PW2301-011 Planning Correction Letter Good Afternoon, I am the planner reviewing your Public Works permit (PW2301-011) for compliance with the Unified Development Code. I saw there was a similar permit applied for back in 2021 (PW2107-042), so I wanted to relay some of the direction from Planning given at that time and provide some additional considerations. The parcels (00437865903000+00437865903100) you have with the existing gravel parking have never been permitted as a parking lot though it has been used as one since at least 1990. The Planning Department recognizes the nonconforming standards of the parking lot (i.e. substandard landscaping and surface material); however, since the parking use has not previously been certified, it must conform to the current zoning code standards of the Unified Development Code.I need more information regarding what the lot will be used specifically and what will be parked/stored on -site; additionally, I need some insight as to the relationship of the property listed on the application (2815 Baker Ave) and the parcels (00437865903000+00437865903300) that encompass the scope of the project itself because these properties are across the street from each other. A primary reason for needing this information is because the commercial use Table 5-2 has a special regulation stipulating that commercial surface parking lots are prohibited as a principal use in an MU zone within Metro Everett (which applies to these properties): View Full Table R- L11 USE R-S R-1 R-2 UR3 UR4 NO B MU HI AG SPECIAL It 21A) L12 Parking, commercial P pig pia P LIn Metro Even —applicable if parking lots pro principal use principal use. Since you are proposing to increase the impervious surface area and further remove vegetated areas of the lot, the Planning Department will need to see a Landscape Modification Application submitted proposing an alternative landscape plan that must be drawn in accordance with EMC 19.35.140. The proposed Eft along the street frontage does not adequately address the perimeter landscape standards in Table 35-2 and will need to include details about plant types, spacin& size, etc. A Parking Modification Application might also be necessary. If you could please provide me with some additional context and project details, I can verify If this proposal is something that the City can support and provide next -steps if it is allowable. Please let me know if you have any questions.
